The UK’s Orwellian Nightmare
IWB ^ | Daniel Carter

Posted on 04/27/2018 1:43:40 PM PDT by davikkm

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. At its height, the British Empire ruled over approximately a quarter of the world’s population and land mass. They produced some of the greatest minds of all time, including Adam Smith, John Locke, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and the founding fathers of the United States. In the 21st century, however, they have stumbled. Now, they’re abandoning Enlightenment values and teetering on the brink of a full-blown Orwellian nightmare.

Although they formerly embraced The Enlightenment and liberty with the rest of the Western world, the United Kingdom’s government never provided robust protections to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms like the US government did. The first two amendments of the US Constitution arguably do the most to suppress government tyranny. If US citizen’s rights are being infringed, they can speak out to alert others of the injustices. If government or other malicious forces physically harm US citizens, they can fight back with firearms.

They are putting Alfie Evans to death because they are not monsters.

How does that make sense, you ask?

The NHS does not ration care to children, because to do so is monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.

But the NHS will not spend hundreds of thousands of Pounds on futile care, because that would condemn many more to death when there is no money left for basic life-saving care, which would be monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.

Since the do not ration care, because they are not monsters, but they are not providing care, they must be basing their decisions on what is the best interests of the child. So it is in the best interests of the child to die.

Since it is in the best interests of the child to die, they can not let anybody else save the child, because that would be against the best interests of the child. To allow anybody to do anything against the best interests of the child would be monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.

It is, of course, monstrous to torture a child for months or years on end, and we know that they are not monsters. Therefore it is necessary to make sure the child dies as soon as possible.

So, because they are not monsters, they must kill this child immediately.

Same here if Hillary had won.

The resulting leftist thug courts would have destroyed the bill of rights.
